What’s Changing? A Global Repatriation & Hoarding

Total Gold Demand, 2009 Q1 and 2013 Q2. Gresham's Law:

"When a government overvalues one type of money and undervalues another, the undervalued money will leave the country or disappear from circulation into hoards, while the overvalued money will flood into circulation." "Bad money drives out good".

HOARDING!

What is the “Bad Money”?

The Wholesale Market - Present Physical Flow of Gold

LONDON

U.K. Gold Shipments Climb Eightfold as Metal Seen Moving to Asia

- Bloomberg

UK gold exports surge tenfold this year - Financial Times

Gold flows from Britain to Switzerland surge

in H1-Macquarie - Reuters

797 tonnes exported from London in the first half

of this year.

An Estimated 10,000 tonnes total sits in London

At this rate all gold will have disappeared from London vaults in just over 6 years!

Wholesale Market Comparison

- Presented by Thomas Coughlin

London Market Global Market London price Global market connecting local physical markets

Unallocated True global price + True local prices + Flattened Global Price

Effective unlimited supply - Part of fractional banking system Allocated – difficult to manipulate

Investor holds counterparty risk against custodian Finite supply – placing upward pressure on gold prices

Expensive transportation costs Investor holds legal title

Only trading and clearing during London time Negligible counterparty risk

Only wholesale lot sizes – Market not available to private investors Can store gold locally in home region

Organically dying market Minimal transportation costs

Organically evolving market
